First, pick up the cotton picked and peel the cotton seed before making quilts.

In the master's introduction, it seems easy to play cotton, but actually there are a lot of attention. "The cotton pads made must be thick in the middle and thin in the surrounding area, so the quilt can be comfortably covered."

One bend

A ball hammer, a pressed flower plate, a wooden millstone and a wire rod are the tools to be used for playing cotton.

The hammered hammer fell rhythmically to the catgut's catgut, while the bow string vibrated on the side of the catapult.

The cotton on the door plank leaped up with the bowstring, which is the scene of playing cotton.

After the bomb was finished, the master was going to wire up the cotton and press the bamboo pressed disc with a diameter of about 50 centimeters to press the cotton. Finally, the mill was used to mill the cotton and the yarn together.

"First rub it up, then stand on the millstone, so that the cotton tyre is strong and not easy to break."

The master said, "when a man stands on a millstone, the whole body is twisted to drive the millstone forward. First, circle around the outside and slowly approach the center of the cotton tyre, so repeat it six or seven times."

It can be said that this is the most difficult and exhausting process of cotton quilting.

Cotton is

It's also physical work.

Even in the cold weather, the temperature is below zero, and the master is always wearing a single coat and sweat on his forehead.

"One side plays well and the other side needs to play the reverse. It takes a total of seven or eight processes to do a cotton tyre well."

The master recalled that he would be busy from six o'clock every morning until evening.

You can only play two or three manual cotton pads a day.
